All my Friends,
News Flash from Hurricane Central,
As Old Sailpappy looks out his front door it looks like we have been spared the Big wind as I see no downed limbs from the tree’s, but then again they just might be submerged under the standing water from the horrendous rains we have had.
I didn’t feel threatened enough to take the Storm Shutters out of the Garage so it’s a good thing we have such a good weather radar system and can track these things so well.
Naturally after so many years of watching the weather maps for sailing conditions I’ve developed a pretty good knack at reading the “Big Picture”, although I have been fooled a few times!
I went out the other day to check on “Junior”--my little boat, well the drain hole had clogged and it was completely filled to overflowing with rain water, I guess I will have to survey the condition before I take it out again to see if it hurt anything?
I have finally gotten most of the inside house projects completed. I got the kids both in their own room and installed new carpet through out the house, in the process I have painted almost the entire interior of the house so I just have a few spots to finish and it will be the whole deal done!
I have spent a little time putting up a web page with the Grandkids pictures on it, I figured that since their mother is having such a hard time finding the phone or the post office, I would make one last attempt to see if she wants to know anything about the kids at all. She hasn’t called or written to the kids since April.
I didn’t just leave it to chance, I called her Probation Officer ands the Judge’s Office that is trying her latest criminal activity’s to let them know about the over all situation with her and the kids.
I’ve talked with her P.O. 100 times more often than I’ve been able to talk to her. I know that she got the Web address, because there is an entry in the guest book from some one named RavenPoe99(Nancy) and she claims to be Misty’s(Kids Mother) friend?
With the low Barometric Pressure, my headaches have been very unstable and I’m dealing with them like normal. I haven’t had a lot of free time to spend on the computer so I haven’t been posting much to the Clusterheadache.com message Board.
If you would like to check out the Web site the Address is “www.sailpappy.homestead.com“. There is a link to Heaven Leigh’s Page and one to Trysten Kyle’s Page. I also put a few of the Poems I have published on the web there for your enjoyment too. within a few days I hope to have a page for my other two Grandkids, Chasten and Ian also.
Between the Headaches, the weather, the kids, My Amanda’s health problem and not to mention all the Health Problem’s my Sweet Terri is having it’s a wonder that I have any hair left at all, I should have pulled it all out by now! LOL It sure has been putting me at odds with trying to maintain any e-mail relationships, I’ve neglected all of my good friends, and they all mean a “Great Deal” to me.
I hope to have things caught up enough soon to get back to the normal Daily Correspondence Pattern like before! For Now my Friend--Good Luck and Good Sailing
